When it was time for dinner, Xuan Yanyu and Yan Shiyao had not returned yet.

Xuan Zhaoran held her chin and moved closer to Qi Qingchen, saying in a delicate voice, "Qi Qingchen, why hasn't Brother Xuan come back yet? Can you go look for him?"

Nothing would happen to Zuo Yechen and Ye Jian as long as they were with the Crown Prince. But it was so late and the Crown Prince hadn't come back yet, so she was still a little worried.

"No." Qi Qingchen said in a muffled voice.

Brother Xuan?

How long have they known each other? Are you already worried about him?

"Qi Qingchen, please go and look for them. I'm hungry. How can we have a meal if they don't come back?" Xuan Zhaoran pulled his arm coquettishly.

Qi Qingchen stared at her, his Adam's apple rolling, "Are you hungry? That's why you want me to go look for him?"

"Yeah, yeah." Xuan Zhaoran nodded his little head.

"Okay." Qi Qingchen's mouth curled up slightly.

Xuan Zhaoran's mouth curled up.

It's still her fault. The prince is too stupid. It's been almost a decade and he still hasn't been able to take Sister Shiyao back from Qi Qingchen.

Isn’t it just Qi Qingchen?

She came and got it done.

I will definitely ask the Emperor and the Queen Mother for a reward when I get back.

She secretly heard the Queen Mother and the Emperor complaining about why they had to let the Crown Prince come to Qi Lan. She was worried that the Crown Prince didn't eat well and that Ye Chen and Ye Jian couldn't take good care of him.

Emperor Xu said that if he didn't want Sister Shiyao and Brother Crown Prince to develop a relationship first, he would have asked Emperor Qi to send Sister Shiyao to Xuanzhao a long time ago.

The Emperor also said that if Sister Shiyao was brought to Xuanzhao directly, given the Crown Prince's personality, he would probably neglect Sister Shiyao.

If the Crown Prince and Sister Shiyao were to stay together every day, I'm afraid the Crown Prince would not be willing.

It’s not the same when he comes to Qilan Country. He can only stay with Sister Shiyao every day. After a long time, wouldn’t they develop feelings for each other?

Before Qi Qingchen could get up to look for them, Xuan Yanyu and Yan Shiyao walked in side by side.

Xuan Zhaoran immediately straightened up and sat properly.

Qi Qingchen narrowed his eyes slightly. Why did he feel that Zhao Ran was very afraid of Xuan Yanyu?

Yan Shiyao glanced at Qi Qingchen and Xuan Zhaoran, and lowered her eyes to hide the disappointment in her eyes. She felt that Brother Qi seemed to be very fond of Zhaoran, and he treated Zhaoran very differently.

"Where is Yan Yuning?" Xuan Yanyu couldn't help but ask.

Why are there only Qi Qingchen and Xiao Ran?

"Ningning said she didn't want to eat and was not in the mood." Zhao Ran said obediently.

Why don't you want to eat? She saw it all. It was almost time for dinner, and the waiter brought the food to Ningning's room.

Ningning even went to her room to tell her that if the prince asked her about it, she should say that she was not in the mood to eat.

I thought Ningning was overthinking. Why would the prince ask her about it?

I didn't expect that the prince would actually ask.

Should she tell the Crown Prince that Ningning had secretly had dinner?

But Ning Ning had warned her...

"I'll go see her." Yan Shiyao forced a faint smile.

"No, I'll go over and take a look." Xuan Yanyu's eyes darkened slightly, and he said calmly, "You eat first."

Xuan Zhaoran stared at Xuan Yanyu's back in a daze. Did the prince go to see Ningning for her because he was afraid that Sister Shiyao would be hungry, or did he go because he wanted to see Ningning?

Qi Qingchen knocked on the table in dissatisfaction, and said in a low voice, "Zhao Ran, eat, stop watching."

"Qi Qingchen, please speak nicely. I don't like your tone." Xuan Zhaoran puffed up his cheeks pretending to be angry, with a smile in the corner of his eyes.

Qi Qingchen's eyes moved slightly, and he softened his voice, "Can we eat?"

Xuan Zhaoran grinned at him, "Sure~"

Qi Qingchen stared at the girl's smiling face in a daze. She tilted her head and smiled at him, her eyes curved with laughter, and she looked extremely arrogant.
